Victor Arnautoff (1896-1979), City Life (1934)

Detail of a 10′ x 36′ fresco “City Life” which was painted inside Coit Tower by Victor Arnautoff with the help of Edward Hansen and Farwell Taylor with funding from the PWAP. The onsite plaque reads:
“Such familiar San Francisco buildings as City Hall, the Main Library, the Legion of Honor, and the Stock Exchange watch over the hectic urban scene, which includes an accident and a robbery.”
Arnautoff, who was a student of Diego Rivera’s, supervised the entire Coit Tower mural project.

Coit Tower, Fresco murals in the American Social Realism style (1934) - Not (yet) removed or erased, or in any other way culturally cancelled by the SFAC (San Francisco Arts Commission) like they did to Colombus statue which was beautifully standing before the Coit tower until 2020.

Coit Tower is a 210-foot (64 m) tower in the Telegraph Hill neighborhood of San Francisco, California, offering panoramic views over the city and the bay. The tower, in the city's Pioneer Park, was built between 1932 and 1933 using Lillie Hitchcock Coit's bequest to beautify the city of San Francisco.

The art deco tower, built of unpainted reinforced concrete, was designed by architects Arthur Brown, Jr. and Henry Howard. The interior features fresco murals in the American Social Realism style, painted by 25 different onsite artists and their numerous assistants, plus two additional paintings installed after creation offsite.
